What to do about anorexia (What to do about anorexia in children)
Anorexia in children is a common phenomenon. Long-term anorexia can lead to malnutrition and affect growth and development, so some practical measures should be taken.
1. Many diseases of children are related to anorexia, so it is necessary to actively look for the cause and treat the symptoms.
2. People often say you are hungry. Many times, children do not want to eat because they are not hungry after eating too much. Therefore, when a child is anorexic, let him be hungry for one or two meals, and then eat when the child has an appetite; desire to eat.
3. Create conditions for children to enjoy eating and stimulate their appetite. For example, the food is delicious in color, fragrance, and recipes are often changed, and the tricks are constantly refurbished, so that children feel that eating is a kind of enjoyment, rather than simply satisfying their hunger.
4. Activities can consume energy, strengthen gastrointestinal motility, promote metabolism, and reflexively cause hunger. Therefore, let the children do some light and pleasant activities, but the amount of exercise should not be too large, such as playing games, riding a bicycle, etc.
5. Parents should show a strong interest in food, and do not say that the food is not delicious in front of the children; The feeling of “eating slowly, you may not be able to eat”. The effect of this hint therapy is also very obvious.
6. Control the intake of snacks. Some fruits and nuts can be eaten between meals, but not too much, so as not to cause a feeling of fullness.
I believe that through the above measures, the child’s appetite will soon be strong, but at this time, parents should be careful. Don’t let the child become chubby!
